Free Download Identification and Mitigation of Fraudulent Online Transactions Using Authentication and Fraud Detection System
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819748879 | 185 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 26 MB
The book explores comprehensive demonstration of the performance analytics following the implementation of the authentication and fraud detection system strategies. These evaluations are based on different performance metrics such as accuracy, true positive rate, true negative rate, precision, g-mean, f1-score and receiver operating characteristic curve. This book highlights effectiveness of the implemented authentication and fraud detection system based on their performance statistics. Additionally, it explores the limitations and social impact of the developed online transaction system, offering insights into potential areas for future research.

Marine Pollution – Monitoring, Management and Mitigation


Free Download Marine Pollution – Monitoring, Management and Mitigation by Amanda Reichelt-Brushett
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 373 Pages | ISBN : 303110126X | 105.7 MB
The study of marine environments inevitably involves considering the problem of marine pollution, which includes questions that focus on the essential need to ensure the long-term health of these exceptional ecosystems and the lives and livelihoods they support. The textbook "Marine Pollution: monitoring, management and mitigation" approaches these questions in a practical and highly readable format. It gives newcomers to the field background and perspective through the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary exploration of the topic. The topic is indeed complex, requiring the integration of the natural sciences and chemistry with management, policymakers, industry and all of us who are users of the marine environment.

Knowledge Systems of Societies for Adaptation and Mitigation of Impacts of Climate Change


Free Download Knowledge Systems of Societies for Adaptation and Mitigation of Impacts of Climate Change By Sunil Nautiyal, K. S. Rao, H. Kaechele (auth.), Sunil Nautiyal, K.S. Rao, Harald Kaechele, K.V. Raju, Ruediger Schaldach (eds.)
2013 | 720 Pages | ISBN: 3642361420 | PDF | 14 MB
Climate change is broadly recognized as a key environmental issue affecting social and ecological systems worldwide. At the Cancun summit of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s 16th Conference, the parties jointly agreed that the vulnerable groups particularly in developing countries and whose livelihood is based on land use practices are the most common victims as in most cases their activities are shaped by the climate. Therefore, solving the climate dilemma through mitigation processes and scientific research is an ethical concern. Thus combining the knowledge systems of the societies and scientific evidences can greatly assist in the creation of coping mechanisms for sustainable development in a situation of changing climate. International Humboldt Kolleg focusing on "knowledge systems of societies and Climate Change" was organized at ISEC. This event was of unique importance, as the year 2011-12 was celebrated as the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between India and Germany with the motto "Germany and India – Infinite Opportunities." This volume is the outcome of the papers presented during the IHK 2011 at ISEC, India.
